Exploring graffiti lettering

This archived Art and design scheme of work video introduces teachers to the art form of graffiti, encouraging Key stage 2 pupils to explore its bold lettering styles and expressive use of colour. It balances discussion around the controversies and legalities of graffiti with practical guidance on creating artwork inspired by wild style lettering. The video demonstrates each step, from sketching and expanding block letters to adding intricate serifs, applying gradient colour effects, and finishing with outlines and shadows to make designs stand out.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s original UKS2 Art and design resources. It supports teachers in guiding pupils to experiment with lettering, colour, and composition, while engaging in discussion about the cultural and social context of graffiti art.
